The best restaurants serving British food in North Norfolk East of England

Dog friendly gastro pub. Excellent Sunday roast offering with a good wine list. We would visit again when we are in the area.

Lovely warming bar and restaurant we popped in after a walk along the cliffs from Cromer. Stopped for a bit to eat. Great service, attentive, polite staff and tasty food.

We had our second visit here today as thought maybe the first time was just a bad day, based on the reviews on here but we will never go again. It’s a huge pub and it has a playground, great moorings but that’s as far as I can go with positives. Inside it’s dusty, dated, cheap, not over friendly, the food is such poor quality that we left most of what we had and didn’t bother with the “free” ice cream for the kids either. It is so expensive for what you get, in our opinion. Even our 4 and 7 year olds wouldn’t eat their meals. But the table next to us was heard saying “this is so good” to each other. Sadly not for us.

Food was nice, we stopped for lunch. Had Jacket potato which was nice. Ordered a tuna baguette with extra chips. Received a tuna sandwich with no chips. Chased the chips, still didn't come out. Went back to get chips refunded but only 1 staff serving. Gave up waiting and thought I'd let the £1 go. But a member of staff then did come over and ask if we were OK and went and refunded them which was nice of her.

When we arrived there was one bar man doing everything from showing us to our table to serving us drinks and taking food order whilst doing the same for others. Ibhad tge pie and it was so undercooked ,my wife had the lamb and there was more fat than lamb . A Lot Better resturants in the surrounding area No atmosphere . Sent the food back .

Done such a fantastic job on revamping the garden centre and restaurant. Such a shame the food was terrible! My wife had what was supposed to be Chicken schnitzel which was on the special board. The first one was so tough it was overcooked and couldn’t cut it. This was replaced with a second one and was told by the waitress they are all like that! I had a cheese and onion omelet which had been burnt on one side and was presented inside out to hide the burnt base. A lady who worked there named Heather, came and asked us if we enjoy our meal and thought we were joking when we said it was awful. She apologised and asked us if we would like a piece of cake or a refill of our drinks which we declined.

Precioso rollo de tocino y un rollo de mayonesa de huevo todo cocinado y hecho fresco a pedido, y una olla de té para dos. Personal amable y servicial

Oh what an incredible evening, have driven past the pub so many times on our frequent weekends in Norfolk, but had never been in before, we went last night with 3 other couples, what a brilliant place, the staff, the food and the atmosphere was brilliant, now my number one pub to go to, “Dave the landlady is so lovely!! Even if she has eaten a few to many pies recently, not really it was just a bit of banter on the evening, brilliant guys keep up the good work, we will be back in a few weeks if you’ll have again 🙏❤️👍

A really nice pub. I am Gluten free and the young Chef (Harden) was so helpful and the lunch time meal freshly prepared GF fish finger sandwiches was really good. The others had great meals and the plates were clean. Gods food good beer.

Arriving at lunchtime, the establishment appeared pleasantly, but not overwhelmingly, busy. A few tables were free, so we sat at one close to the corner of the bar in the side room. My wife goes off to find a menu. Unsure whether she has gone to the bar, which had two groups at it when we passed seconds earlier, or surveying the savannah plains of Africa she arrives back after ten minutes or so shaking her head in disbelief. Quick decision made; pint of ghost ship and the ploughman’s for me, tuna jacket potato for her with a portion of chips to share between. Queue another fifteen minute wait. Still no one else arrived at the bar. My wife comes back, head shaking to explain that she has been told a great saga about the coffee machine and how unreasonable it is that all people want is coffee. I suppose gin and tonic would be more her expectations? I kept hearing her tell everyone that she is rushed off her feet, largely with her expositions of the same one feels. Forty minutes after arrival, the food arrives. Well most of it. Searching for condiments, I find 1Litre chefs larder bottles, with no means of dissemination. Not wanting to risk a plate covered in the stuff I will go without. The ploughman’s? Two slices of ham, a fairly bland cheddar cheese, a slice of gala pie (halved, supermarket brought I assume) and a small slice of pork pie. Some bread also arrives, which was pleasant, but with such glorious local produce available, and a farm shop selling all of it a couple of hundred yards away, this seemed a missed opportunity. Indeed, I could have walked to the farm shop, gathered some alternative ingredients and prepared it onto a plate in the time this whole sorry saga took. However, this would be forgetting the true piece de resistance… the menu item that would send Galton blackerstone careering down from Morston Hall to try it: the salad. One quarter of a tomato, and some lettuce from a bag. It will, like so much, live long in the memory. But what of the chips? They never arrived. Deciding that asking would be too much, and wanting to leave, I go up to the bar at the end of the meal (pre paid). I a, greeted by ‘if you want food you’ll have to wait.’ The slightest attentiveness, and the fact the landlady has caught my gaze several times during the meal might suggest that having already eaten I am unlikely to want to repeat the experience. After saying that I prefer dialogue to start with ‘hello’, I explain what has happened. Without a word she goes to write an order for more chips on order papers that I can’t remember seeing this side of Covid. I stop her, and explain I would simply like a refund to the card used. This can’t be done, as she doesn’t know how to do that on the till. She offers me cash, with no proof that what I said was true, I accept and leave. I suggest that rather than paper tickets they should have a till system that sends orders to the kitchen, to reduce workload and risk of errors. The look I am shot says this is clearly my time to leave, before a potion is found near the coffee machine, and a spell cast to damm my soul to an eternity in hell. Or maybe just staying the afternoon. I’ve been in before, but under different ownership. Husband and wife who may be trying their best, but in my honest opinion falling far short. A decent EPOS system, efficient coffee machine and one or two extra staff could have made this so much better and not representing Basil Fawlty in Englands Nazareth. Diners nearby had similar experiences to us, and it was a certain gallows humour camaraderie that made the meal even more surreal. Somehow you couldn’t feel angry - just sorry for people so far out of their depth. In a place of such spiritual wonderment, it is clear there are still some areas in need of divine intervention.

This used to be a very nice traditional pub, with a good menu - what a difference a year makes! Bar moved, decorated in dull blue colour making the place look drab & uninviting. Barely anything on the menu bar fish & chips! Only 4 other diners in the place & like us were driven out due to thumping drum & bass music --- is that necessary at lunchtime?!? Won't be going back anytime soon.

Not sure if we just struck lucky today, but Fakenham Morrison's Cafe seems to have picked up its game. Our server and table host (till guy and tray carrier, if you prefer) was excellent. Sadly no name badge so can't give personal credit. He was friendly, accommodating, and quick. So much so we had to look around to check we were in the right place. Food here is cheap, of dubious quality, and chips are usually undercooked (only just this time). But the price is great and the service was, well, pretty good. Also, apart from three tables with dirty crockery on (usually there is far more), the tables were all clear and nicely wiped and clean. Excellent. Big thanks to the guys today! We had a very nice time.

Fresh and delicious fish and chips. Staff are lovely

Stopped for lunch and wasn't disappointed. COD and chips and Haddock and chips with curry sauce. OMG best curry sauce we've ever had. Home made and fruity. Chips were nice though I like em but more cooked. Fish was in lovely crispy batter. Very nice. Chilly day but they made up for it. Also had a coffee from the pub which also was very nice.

Ordered a burger and drink,took 25 minutes,narrowly beating my previous record of 23 minutes for 5 chicken selects and a drink. Easily the worst mcdonalds in history
